Jeremiah 43
1 And it came to pass, that when Jeremias had made an end of speaking to the people all the words of the Lord their God, for which the Lord their God had sent him to them, all these words:
Men da Jeremias var til ende med at forkynde alle de Ord, med hvilke HERREN deres Gud havde sendt ham til dem, alle de nævnte Ord,
2 Azarias the son of Osaias, and Johanan the son of Caree, and all the proud men, made answer, saying to Jeremias: Thou tellest a lie: the Lord our God hath not sent thee, saying: Go not into Egypt, to dwell there.
sagde Azarja, Ma'asejas Søn, og Johanan, Kareas Søn, og alle de andre overmodige Mænd til Jeremias: »Du lyver! HERREN vor Gud har ikke sendt dig for at sige, at vi ikke skal drage til Ægypten for at bo der som fremmede;
3 But Baruch the son of Nerias setteth thee on against us, to deliver us into the hands of the Chaldeans, to kill us, and to cause us to be carried away captives to Babylon.
nej, Baruk, Nerijas Søn, har ophidset dig imod os, for at vi skal gives i Kaldæernes Haand, saa de dræber os eller fører os bort til Babel.«
4 So Johanan the son of Caree, and all the captains of the soldiers, and all the people, obeyed not the voice of the Lord, to remain in the land of Juda.
Og Johanan, Kareas Søn, alle Hærførerne og alt Folket adlød ikke HERRENS Røst om at blive i Judas Land;
5 But Johanan the son of Caree, and all the captains of the soldiers took all the remnant of Juda, that were returned out of all nations, to which they had before been scattered, to dwell in the land of Juda:
men Johanan, Kareas Søn, og alle Hærførerne tog hele Judas Rest, som var vendt tilbage for at bo i Judas Land,
6 Men, and women, and children, and the king’s daughters, and every soul, which Nabuzardan the general had left with Godolias the son of Ahicam the son of Saphan, and Jeremias the prophet, and Baruch the son of Nerias.
Mænd, Kvinder og Børn, Kongedøtrene og enhver, som Livvagtsøversten Nebuzar'adan havde ladet blive hos Gedalja, Sjafans Søn Ahikams Søn, ogsaa Profeten Jeremias og Baruk, Nerijas Søn,
7 And they went Into the land of Egypt, for they obeyed not the voice of the Lord: and they came as far as Taphnis.
og drog til Ægypten; thi de adlød ikke HERRENS Røst. Og de kom til Takpankes.
8 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias in Taphnis, saying:
Men HERRENS Ord kom til Jeremias i Takpankes saaledes:
9 Take great stones in thy hand, and thou shalt hide them in the vault that is under the brick wall at the gate of Pharao’s house in Taphnis: in the sight of the men of Juda.
Tag dig nogle store Sten og grav dem ned i Teglstensgulvets Underlag ved Indgangen til Faraos Hus i Takpankes i de judæiske Mænds Paasyn
10 And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Behold I will send, and take Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon my servant: and I will set his throne over these stones which I have hid, and he shall set his throne over them.
og sig til dem: Saa siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Jeg lader min Tjener Kong Nebukadrezar af Babel hente, og han skal rejse sin Trone oven over de Sten, du gravede ned, og brede sit Trontæppe derover.
11 And he shall come and strike the land of Egypt: such as are for death, to death: and such as are for captivity, to captivity: and such as are for the sword, to the sword.
Han skal komme og slaa Ægypten; dem, der hører Døden til, skal han overgive til Død, dem, der hører Fangenskabet til, til Fangenskab og dem, der hører Sværdet til, til Sværd.
12 And he shall kindle a fire in the temples of the gods of Egypt, and he shall burn them, and he shall carry them away captives: and he shall array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd putteth on his garment: and he shall go forth from thence in peace.
Han skal sætte Ild paa Ægyptens Gudehuse og afbrænde dem og bortføre Guderne som Fanger, og han skal svøbe Ægypten om sig som en Hyrde sin Kappe; derpaa skal han drage bort derfra i Fred.
13 And he shall break the statues of the house of the sun, that are in the land of Egypt; and the temples of the gods of Egypt he shall burn with fire.
Han skal nedbryde Stenstøtterne i Bet-Sjemesj og afbrænde Ægyptens Gudehuse.
